As the title say: shall I continue doing the Dread Ring and Sharandar quests after completing 100% of those campaigns? Is there some hidden reward after it?

For the way that things are made here, I think it's a nope...

There's no hidden reward, but you can farm the lairs for the purple items, artifact, companion, etc...

also you can buy potions in Sharadar for one of those currencies or convert other currencies to the one for potions sadly Dread Ring is bugged and its potions cost Sharadar currency instead of Dread Ring ones... so DR is worth only for lair...
I ran dread ring until I had finished the campaign and got the Artifact from the arcane coffer , the only reason I continue to go near Sharandar since I finished the campaign and got the companion is to get sparks to craft the Lesser fey enchantment.So Dread ring is pointless once you get the artifact ( I think the artifact is worth the effort) Sharandar is worthwhile if you need the fey enchantments for RP or to sell.
I do only DR lair for the arcane coffer and Sharandar quest that gives sparks, that can be turned into fey blessing enchantments. I also collect Dark Fey Keys every day and do Celadaine multi-runs from time to time to get shards to feed to my artifact.
In DR, you can do a quick daily lair, when it gives extra purple marks, for 3k AD and maybe some purple stuff to refine. Artifact used to be an important asset but now with mod3 lots of new "class" artifacts will be available with much less effort.
In Sharandar, you can do the weekly "spark" quest for the lesser fey blessing and you're pretty much done (but it requires also 20kAD as well, and its price on AH is now under 30k, if you consider AH fees, the gold you also need and the hassle to make it, it's hardly worth the work). If you want, you can do some Celadaine runs for the small chance to get a companion worth 50k or so on AH.
The only interesting thing here are the potions, but they don't really sell for that much either.
Once you're done with the boons, you can mostly forget those 2 areas and it won't impact your progression much.

There isn't one, no.
Honestly though they do have a use... if you're leveling a new companion. They work very very well for that. But there's so few quests for each NPC that they grow old very very quick.
They seriously need to double or triple the amount of quests per NPC. I keep saying the same things about the IWD expansion. Content gets very very old and stale when you're doing the same things over and over and have them memorized.
I don't mind the quest style things there. But having done all of them enough to gain all the boons, I'm so sick of them I don't even want to go through them again with an ALT. But IWD forces you to as you need two leveled characters with Boons to get the quests for the class specific artifacts.
I am hoping the IWD does not do a measly 3 quests per NPC like the Sharandar an Dread Ring. Those are actually incredibly cool areas, that get stale because there's not enough actual quest content that doesn't get old and repetitive.
Also... once you have the boons there's not much you can buy.
If you could convert the Fey Sparks to Dark Seals, and do the same in Dread Vault to buy the epic gear, that would help.
After trying to farm the artifact for so long on 6 toons and finally getting it one, I realised that it just wasn't worth my time. I still got all the boons though even if it takes a while and was so boring. I wonder if people actually like the campaign systems or if they're more like me and just want it out of the way. To me it's just content for the sake of content and artificially longer by repetition. I don't mind repeating dungeons that have decent rewards (read: pre mod 1 dungeons) but to repeat unrewarding things... meh.
So it depends how much you want those last boons. Also theirs the fey blessing enchants that give a decent amount of rp. However after being fed up with the campaign, I can't even be bothered with the weeklies anymore.
I haven't been keeping up with Mod3 changes, but last I read and from my time on Preview, it will be possible to accumulate XP at level 60 which can then be used for a number of things including extra points for powers. That will probably get my characters to return to completed modules in order to fill out a few gaps and fine tune without having to respec.

You currently (on preview) get a random reward of a companion xp tome (not yet got), power point (got 4), or 5k rough ad. Plus some other stuff like enchants in addition to those.

It's good for leveling new companions. Also, you can sell the extra purple rank marks on the AH for AD.

It's random? That's extremely disappointing as I have little to no uses for Companion XP tomes (easily farmable if I get more companions) and RAD? lol.

Although, I completed both on my main I completed all dailies and did not turn them in, in antecipation for Mod 3, unfortunately all these quests Item take a lot of space in my inventory...

I'll second that as well. Me, and Cryptic's RNG system are not friends. I'd rather not be at the mercy of it. It's my overflow XP, let me decide what to do with it.

Same here, if it's random then there's a chance that you could complete the overflow XP bar a lot of times and get almost never the thing that you want or get it a lot of times, I don't like that lol...
Even though I've completed all the boons in both areas, I still do Tower of Celadaine daily to get the Feywild sparks for getting Lesser Fey enchants and to try to get the Blink Dog (been successful twice), and the Dread Ring mini-dungeon to try to get the Eye artifact (been successful once). It helps to replenish my gold, I open the skill nodes for crafting mats and gems, and it's not like they are hard or anything.
